In draughts (or checkers), a single piece cannot jump over a king. A single piece can only jump over an opponent’s regular pieces to capture them. However, if a king is positioned such that it is adjacent to a single piece and there is an empty space on the opposite side, the single piece can jump over the regular piece, but not the king itself. Thus, jumping a king directly is not allowed.

In the game of checkers, a king is allowed to jump over its own checkers. Kings have more freedom of movement compared to regular checkers, as they can move both forward and backward.

This ability to jump over its own checkers adds a strategic element to the game, allowing players to plan more complex moves.

Can a king eat double in checkers?
In checkers, a king can capture multiple pieces in a single turn by jumping over them, but it can only do so if there are consecutive jumps available. Once a king captures an opponent's piece, it can continue to jump and capture additional pieces if they are positioned correctly. However, a king cannot eat "double" in the sense of capturing two pieces in a single jump; each jump must involve a separate piece. The only limit is that a player must make all possible captures during their turn.
